Abstract

Interior and material designers currently refuse to employ Virtual Prototyping software due to potential errors in computer generated images. In this paper we propose real-time rendering of a precomputed global illumination solution including accurate materials, which is stored as an outgoing Surface Light Field (SLF), as a method to improve upon this problem. In addition, suitable SLF compression and computation techniques are presented and the quality of rendered images is demonstrated.
